Site Issues

Hello!

For those of you who don't know me, I'm Michael, aka Musicmuse. I'm your Site Tech, and I'll be handling any issues you have while visiting us here at ORG Planet.

Please feel free to post any concerns you have with certain features, things you'd like to see improved, glitches you encounter, or any other matainence issues you may find. I'll happily (and hopefully quickly) address them and we'll all live a happier ORG life.

Today's fixes were:

- Display when you sign in - Site may log you out due to inactivity
- Age restriction lifted from 99 years old to 199 years old (for those more senior members)
- Grammar issue with revisal of post while another response has been added is being addressed.

When I'm 199 you'd better raise it again or we're going to have problems...

Not really an issue, but can this be a smiley? --->

Sure

I know some of you loved the who's online feature that showed a map of where we all are. I had this map turned off for security and privacy issues. I would feel bad if someone were to start stalking people here on the site because of that feature.

I hope you all understand.

Aww, bummer, but I definitely understand

Here's a question: When you pick a smiley, does it actually appear in your reply text box, or does the code show up?

it appears. No code shows.

Another issue... the clock is actually twelve hours ahead.

Or does ORG Plannet exist in the future?!?!?!

I think you just go to your preferences and change it to the appropriate GMT time for the time zone you are in thats how I fixed mine

What happened to the fancy cool new post icons that appear inside the particular forum? Not the ones on the main page, those still show up fine, but the ones that are now check marks when you go to, for example, Space Junk. They're very confusing, and hard to tell when there's a new post or not cause they're all the friggin same.

hehehe, Doug is having smilie fails.

It's a sad sad event, but makes me giggle nonetheless.

lol half those posts were me, jess!

i posted a help topic, hopefully someone can answer it

And that is why I'm am officially going to go make breakfast.

If my belly isn't satisfied, my brain is nonfunctional.

True story.

Yeah, it's gotta have something to do with Firefox....

There is a legend for the check marks one below the page where you see them that explains which are new posts and what not

I'm using Safari, and I only see four in Kenya's post, and a handful in Doug and DJ's posts, so I don't think it's a Firefox thing

No like - we all posted from Firefox - doesn't matter what browser you're using to see it we'll all see the same thing, it's more about why can't we post shit.

Yeah thanks, I know there is, but it's hard to keep track of/remember which color is for which and having to look at it every time. Before they got changed it was real easy, they were the little starburst light thingies, so you immediately knew, not anymore since the change

Personally I don't even look at the checkmarks.. I look at right in front of the topic it has a black arrow and then a little piece of paper.. the paper is always there but the black arrow is only there if theres a new post in there. Maybe that will help you

well if you're posting each one the same way and some are showing up both others aren't, then to me that's not so much a posting issue as it is a hosting/administrative issue, like maybe they're not set up properly in the admin settings. I was just letting you know that I don't think it's a browser thing either, cause I couldn't see them.

Well I just posted from internet explorer.. since I have that browser and firefox and it worked on IE.. as you can see above.. but it is not working on firefox as DJ, Doug and I have shown above that, we're just doing some testing to figure out the problem

Also Joey.. what DJ means is that when we type it in it shows up that way to everyone that the smilies aren't showing up.. but when we do it on another browser they do show up in the posts. Can you try to post the first 8 smilies and see if they show up for you on the explorer that you are using?

that stinks that this is happening. All I really use is firefox so I hope you guys are able to find out what's causing it.

Silly firefox! Although I have run across problems on forums with viewing things before in the past, I guess we'll just have to wait and see!

That is the only good thing about IE.. is everything usually works on it.. but that browser is just not the most stable now a days.

But we're definitely looking into the problem!
